Generation gap -- older and/or more recent immigrants don't have contextual knowledge of the impact of school funding in CA (Prop 13). More recent Asian immigrants see things in black and white, and bring their home cultural experience here. Asian Americans who grew up or were born here have a different perspective.

I was practically born in the US, and saw firsthand how Prop 13 impacted public school funding in CA (I'm a product of LAUSD). While I don't support affirmative action per se, I do support providing more support for under privileged families.

Short answer: Most CA, including Asian Americans, don't want to over turn Prop 209, but they do support providing better support and access to URM (which is what I support, as well).

The US immigration rules have always favored white Europeans -- first with quotas, then "family connections" for those already here. Many of those European countries that had large emigres were formerly sh1thole countries, but as those countries have gotten wealthier, less and less of them wanted to immigrate here. Many Asian Americans came to the US via family connections (my family included). So, now Rs want to change it to purely merit based in hopes of still limiting poor brown/black people from coming here. Coupled with their desire to reduce work visas like HIB for the highly skilled which benefits Asians the most, Rs still want to limit immigration to only wealthy/white people.

Trump and Rs desire to limit family migration would impact Asians:

Under the RAISE Act, among the immigrant-sending countries that currently make up the top ten, those that would see the sharpest absolute drops in immigrant admissions are Mexico, India, China, Vietnam, the Dominican Republic, and the Philippines

huh?

Nothing is racist and everyone walks all over you.

Who is saying this? The backlash among my circle has been pretty noticeable. It's been widely shared among Asian Americans who are nearly universal in condemning it as racist. We can also see it in this thread. I don't see many people making excuses.

This entire thread is excuses and sharing it on private whatsapp groups is the exact opposite of noticeable. The reason things like this keeps happening is because Asian Americans don't protest. Why aren't majority Asian American group UPENN students and parents outside of her office 24/7? Why didn't the National Asian Pacific Bar Association lead a march to Philly city hall? PENN Law has 4 Asian American professors - none of whom resigned in protest from shared committees or boards or even wrote a Washington Post Op-Ed critiquing their colleague.

This is a UPENN Law colleague of Amy Wax with a Japanese background - the only thing she posted about was her upcoming blog post on disability rights but I'm sure she had a lot to say privately in FB/Whatsapp messages. Not that that changes anything.

The answer of 'nothing' is pathetic.

Wax needs to know that goes around comes around. Her own people were despised and treated as subhuman animals.

Wonder why Amy didn't know the sayings of Nazis: "Better off with fewer Jews..."

For those saying she wasn't being racist, um yea, she's a racist. Racist is as racist does.

She's been accused of making racist comments previously.

"We know she said similar things in the past," Vidvarthi continued. "She said that white European cultures are better than non-white European cultures in the past. She's lied about Black students' performance in class. So it wasn't surprising, and it's about time that we do something about this."

This is more about Wax’s inner rage than about Asians.
Life’s miseries affect people in different ways. While many who experienced history’s “elimination” might say, “never again,” because yet another round of elimination will likely target the same group all over again, there are people like Wax who feel “cheated” by history and calls for “fewer” other groups. In this psycho’s mind, that would right the wrong her people suffered.

I’m a (South) Asian, Democratic-voting alum of Penn Law and honestly don’t particularly care about this. Giving Amy Wax more attention and condemning the comments doesn’t take them back and it just gives her oxygen. She says this stuff at least partially to get attention.

I think the school has made it more than clear that she doesn’t speak for it and that the faculty/Dean strongly disagrees with her views, so there’s not much more they should do. I don’t think they should start compromising the concept of tenure, because it will cut both ways once there’s a precedent for it. I think calls for that are short-sighted and might cause the law school to have faculty retention/recruiting issues down the line. They seem to mostly be ignoring her and marginalizing her internally, which is IMO a perfectly fine strategy.

News reports state Wax is allowed to teach only 2 elective courses and none in required core classes. She can only attract other like-minded people. Let her teach to her own peeps, whomever they are.

And yet, DCUM's resident Republicans will contort themselves into pretzels saying that, actually, it's Democrats who are the real racists and are driving Asians and other minorities to vote R.

When I hear Penn Law Professor I immediately think D. Does she have a political affiliation?
